Customer Review

After some research and considerations I decided for this router.
The decisive factor was then the price 135, - Euro, which by far is still not a bargain, and the simultaneous use of 2.4GHz and 5GHz and vectoring support

The start-up and initial installation is kind of just that I was surprised.
Apart from the fact that Spanish was time preset for the menu.

Comparable to a router of a provider vorgansweise exactly the same.

Plugging connect, enter interface and follow the instructions.
Everything runs through a wizard, select only the provider and already runs everything.
What is not given to all manufacturers, often the car configurations is incorrect or incomplete.
Quickly everything is typing, set PW for routers and WiFi and that was it.
Runs on Annex A, Pirelli ran on Annex B will soon be time to start trying with Annex B
without vectoring

All necessary functions are clearly arranged, for fine adjustments and special requirements and optimization is more advanced configuration possible.
Even on the forced separation by the provider was intended and is a check mark, which is already set, done without the hassle of configuration. (Assign WAN PPPoE / PPPoA interface schedule or mornings by 3 clock the router from the mains)

Today it is now and to reach even the most serious problem to the customer data, the most like it's the operators that you only use the provided with a branding router.
Therefore you have even if you want (already checked) on allways on place endeavor hotline. Since you can almost nothing set itself as a customer.
No sooner not everything was better ;-)
Since wast as a customer ever left out in the cold and you had to work out everything themselves. But as always suggests the pendulum always just too far out, even in the direction the next time the other way. Now it's just so they rigorously lock everything.

After 3 hours of battery life then the surprise, the throughput was getting worse. Once I had the router briefly disconnected from the mains he ran until now but without hesitation. (2 Days)
Will continue to monitor the critical and revise my assessment, should repeat.

WLAN range is not quite as good as my A1 but 4020n router acceptable.
the important thing it is stable. Why am I still watching the workload. which is 3 devices in WLAN and use of Lan1 at 75%, Pirelli 58%
Advantage is the simultaneous 2.4GHz and 5GHz run. Because over the years more and more networks have been added and so far none of the 5 GHz band uses in my neighborhood it was a logical step. For the Pirelli of A1 really has partly a considerable range. (How far I had only noticed as the neighbors 5 doors down his address and number awarded in his box as SSID)
So it is getting tight in the 2.4GHz range.

The delivery approach is already modest for the price no splinters and even screws and plugs for wall months in vain, even at much cheaper routers can be found at least this.

Can to make a recommendation now (A1)

Runs only on Annex A

Data rate (Mbit / s) 5GHz range is displayed only with 0/0, but stable connection available, without limitation (display error ?!) 1st time after 15 days duration, the 2nd time after 8 days.

the automatic frequency change does not always work,
Not access from WLAN devices and can fix to the Internet (limited connectivity) only by making WiFi and to
